The server launches properly, the same quest gave ~0.5% XP so he's obviously turned it down for a reason. I'd say its with a purpose. If everyone levels to 60 at a P99 speed, they'll likely be bored by the time Velious hits P99 and the server could die a death.

Yeah, they said while I was getting things set up and working during beta that exp was about nine times what they planned for launch. They purposefully had it jacked up so people wouldn't have to grind out levels.
This is actually (one of) the things that led to this launch having so many damn issues - noone spent time at low levels. Supposedly they spent a lot more time on higher level areas and raids, but I don't have a ton of hope that it won't be screwy there too.
The proper way to do this launch would've have been to go through, zone by zone, every mob and their drops. Instead, it seems they just started playing and only fixed whatever people explicitly brought up. And some things that they did bring up were also ignored (with no feedback).
I wonder how Velious launch here will be. I remember when epics launched here, even with nilbog's team and the testing, they were all jacked up - at least, the monk epic was. Not one part of it was without error. All the spawn times were off by a factor of 10, Eejag didn't leash, almost all of them hit for the wrong amounts, the graphics on some were wrong, etc. But I did the same thing then that I'm doing now - report a bug, and move on. I think it took about a month to get those fixed here. Just saying we shouldn't hold one group to standards we don't hold the other. In the end, the monk epic was completable, just like on Sleeper, it's playable, even with the ever growing bug list (or as I call it, shit mountain).
